Sunday Stroll

After dinner, we decided to talk a walk around the neighborhood.

Princess Reagan on her princess bicycle
Cooper getting the royal treatment too!Cooper making sure Reagan wasn't too far behind
They giggled the entire way around the block
Wow, she's growing up fast!
I love my family!

Sunday Morning

Cooper was the only one willing to get his picture made before church this morning ~ Reagan said she had had enough. Oh well, what do I expect from a girl who has had at least 10 pictures (and most of the time even more than that) taken of her daily since the day she was born!

Acting silly with dad
After church with mom

Pink Pancakes

Once again, Reagan was in a baking mood. Today, she made us all pink pancakes for breakfast.

Measuring out the Bisquick
Next is the milk
Picking out just the right color...pink, of course
Making sure it is mixed just right
Now the waiting begins
Delicious!!

BAM Reunion Luau

Tonight was our Life Group's reunion meeting. The original life group has multiplied into 3 groups, so once a quarter all 3 groups get together for a time of fun, fellowship and good food.

Reagan couldn't wait to go to her friend's house and go swimming
Cooper befriended Mr. Gary from the moment he got out of the vanJumping in the pool to daddy
Cooper taste tested the water for everyone
I bought Reagan a new ring float for the occasion
Cooper was fascinated with the waterfall
Cooper borrowed a ring float from a friend
He also tried out the big float
Cooper had a great time in the pool
"Say Cheese"
Reagan was a big girl and swam almost the entire night
Cooper found his way back to Mr. Gary
Reagan getting a little help from Mr Duane on the slip-n-slide
She decided the army crawl was the best technique for getting down the slide
checking to see if anyone notices him getting some chips
All the kids are getting instructions for a game...Reagan is still swimming
Time to eat!
Cooper talked Mr. Gary into taking him down the slide
Whee! (click on the picture to see the big grin on Cooper's face!)
Trampoline time
Cooper jumped in safety on the outside, while Reagan jumped inside
Getting some air!
Cooper stayed with Gary 99% of the night, even reaching for him while I was holding him. He ate dinner with him and wouldn't let him out of his sight! It was so cute ~ and even better to know that Cooper is social with people other than me and Greg.
Reagan didn't want to leave at the end of the night. She even asked Duane if she could "please come back and swim sometime" with no prompting from anyone.

The Baker is Back

Reagan had taken a little sabbatical from baking, but today she was back in full force making pink biscuits for us all to enjoy at breakfast.

Measuring the Bisquick
Adding the milk Stirring in the pink food coloring
The finished product (daddy said he couldn't eat pink biscuits, so Reagan had to make him some plain ones)

Such a Beautiful Evening

We took advantage of the beautiful sunny weather this evening and played outside for a while.

Reagan rode her bicycle around the neighborhood
"What you talkin' bout Willis?"All the neighborhood girls love to rub on Cooper's new haircut
Enough of the girls, he's got mowing to do
Brother and sister at play
Taking a break from the yard work
Resting her legs from riding her bicycle
